Satans Hockey Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I'm expecting Cory in net tonight, really want him to get a win so we can stop hearing about his last win was way back in blah blah blah. Play like last night and this should be another victory. LETS GO DEVILS!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Great test tonight to see if and how they respond in a back to back situation. REALLY hoping they are able to score some goals for Cory. If they don't, the guy will probably be pissed, and rightfully so. 1 minute ago, Kinkyisth3b3st said: Would love to see Hall bury a couple and get on a little bit of a tear. I LITERALLY almost said at the end of my last post "Would love to see Hall get a hattrick of his own, or maybe a 4 point night". 😳 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I agree with the two posts above re: Hall. Much apreesh on all of the assists, Taylor, but you need to get some goals. 10 minutes ago, NJDfan1711 said: REALLY hoping they are able to score some goals for Cory. If they don't, the guy will probably be pissed, and rightfully so. The entire concept is flawed. The fact that they "don't score for Cory" is chance, nothing more. Can you really argue that they try less hard for him? I haven't seen that. I think he recognizes that and while he may be pissed about his bad luck, he's certainly not going to be pissed at the team for not scoring. The team would have a better argument for him "not saving". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only finding the team stat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 2 hours ago, Kinkyisth3b3st said: Would love to see Hall bury a couple and get on a little bit of a tear. As far as that goes, this is all small-sample sh!t, but on the surface, you see 40 SOG in 12 GP and figure that's right where Hall should be. Also easy to see Hall's 5.0 shooting% and assume there's no way that will continue (and for sure, it won't). And Hall actually got off to a similar start last season...in his first 9 GP, he'd scored just one goal and put up a 3.7 shooting%. From that point on, he never went more than four games without scoring (and the four-game drought happened only once). The one thing that's been different this season is that early on last year, Hall was getting good looks, but wasn't finishing...just when I was starting to wonder if lack of finish was a real flaw in Hall's game, he went on a tear that pretty much lasted the rest of the season (38 goals in his next 67 GP, 15.1 shooting%). The main difference I see this year is that he doesn't seem to be getting many great opportunities...his shots don't seem to be as dangerous, and something just seems a little bit off. But it's nice to have a guy who still has 14 points in 12 games and feel like he hasn't really gotten locked in yet.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) right now Hall is on pace for 96 pts, 14 goals. Palms is on pace for 103pts, 64 goals and Hischier is on pace for 69 pts, 21 goals. Small sample size is always giving weird results lol Hischier is the only one that i feel is what we can expect Edited November 6, 2018 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way Taylor Hall scores only 14 goals and also has 82 assists. And if he does, I am totally OK with that. Palmieri, obviously, not gonna happen either. Unless Taylor Hall has 82 assists, then I guess its possible lol. He'll hit his usual streak of 20-25 games with like 5 goals and it'll normalize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh heh, more just hoping if Hall has, say, 60-65 points as he's closing in on 70 GP, that people aren't knocking him or assuming that he's become complacent, or calling him disappointing...or constantly comparing him to the 2017-18 Hall. Not many guys putting up 100-point pace seasons year in and year out these days. Elias put up 96 points in 2000-01 (age 24) and Parise put up 94 (also age 24) in 2008-09. Neither really came close to those totals again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
